They were a small band of pioneers, dedicated to breathing life into the movie industry: Fairbanks, Chaplin and Mary Pickford. Skilfully blending biography with film history, and vividly illustrated with stills and off-screen photos, this absorbing book charts their friendship, and the tragic trajectory of Fairbanks's career: the excitement of his swashbuckling dramas of the 1920s, the eclipse that followed the arrival of talking pictures, financial troubles, the collapse of his marriage to Pickford, and his early death.
